but the subject of the topic with post 7265078 is "Mouth using 100% CPU and RAM, how do I stop it?" and I am not subscribed. The actual thread with the subject in the email is 950382 in which I made the most recent post some days ago.

Ive had this happen to me from time to time, as well. The annoyance level didn't rise to the level of posting about it. Good for you, because this ought to work correctly, and to do so someone needs to hear about it.

I'm posting a "me, too" so that whoever reads this knows that it isn't unique to you._________________.sigs waste space and bandwidth

its the gremlins they get everywhere... its like trying to do it on the beach... you get sand in places you didn't know existed_________________A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

What has happened here is that someone posted to a topic you were watching but that post was split off to the dustbin (and possibly merged with other posts). This usually happens when a spammer replies to the topic._________________Search | Read | Answer | Report | Strip

Makes sense - that post was one of eight in the same topic by the same user, each posted one minute apart. Perhaps irrelevant, but doesn't really look like spam to me. Anyway, finally a good explanation of what the gremlins sometimes do.

It was a spammer. New user, posting rapidly to many different threads. The "better" ones try to sound somewhat topical. But they just end up writing generalized nonsense such as giving MS.Windows advice to linux questions. Sometimes it's a copy-paste from other forums (there was a recent one complaining about problems with their pre-2.4 kernel). Then they come back at a later time and edit their posts to include spam links. This particular one didn't have any links yet. But it was obvious enough, and they were making enough of a mess, that it was decided to put a stop to it before it became even more of a problem to clean up. (In any case, even if links are present they don't show up in posts moved to dustbin, to avoid search engines indexing the garbage.)

There's no particularly good way around the notifications problem. Once the email is sent, it's out there, there's no way to take it back if the post happens to get moved away. Sometimes the posts are deleted, but then you'll end up with a link that says no such post. Generally they'll get moved, both to keep the notify links intact (albeit confusing), and to provide evidence in case the spammer emails asking why was I banned?_________________The reason there appears to be no god in the world, is because he's overwhelmed constantly pulling all those miracles that are needed to keep all the software we're using, mostly working.
